The  institute  has  attempted  to  obtain  the  best 
original  copy  available  for  filming.  Features  of  this 
copy  which  may  be  bibliographically  unique, 
which  may  alter  any  of  the  images  in  the 
reproduction,  or  which  may  significantly  change 
the  usual  method  of  filming,  are  checked  below.

The  copy  fiimed  here  has  been  reproduced  thanks 
to  the  generosity  of:

L'exemplaire  filmd  fut  reproduit  grdc«»  a  la 
gdn6rosit6  de: 

Bibliothdque  de  recherche  entomologique 
Agnculture  Canada 


The  images  appearing  here  are  tha  best  quality 
possible  considering  the  condition  and  legibility 
of  the  original  copy  and  in  ke^iping  with  thn 
filming  contract  specificatione. 


Original  copies  in  printed  paper  covers  are  filmed 
beginning  with  the  front  cover  and  ending  on 
the  last  page  with  a  printed  or  illustrated  impres- 
sion, or  the  back  cover  when  appropriate.  All 
other  original  copies  are  filmed  beginning  on  the 
first  page  with  a  printed  or  illustrated  impres- 
sion, and  ending  on  the  last  page  with  a  printed 
or  illustrated  impression. 


Th^  last  recorded  frame  on  each  microfiche 
shall  contain  the  symbol  —►(meaning  "CON- 
TINUED"), or  the  symbol  V  (meaning  "END"), 
whichev?''  applies. 

Maps,  plates,  charts,  etc.,  may  be  filmed  at 
different  reductiod  ratios.  Those  too  large  to  be 
entirely  included  in  one  exposure  are  filmed 
beginning  in  the  upper  left  hand  corner,  left  to 
right  and  top  to  bottom,  as  many  frames  as 
required.  The  following  diagrams  illustrate  the 
method: 


Les  im'iges  suivantes  ont  6X6  reproduites  avec  te 
plus  grand  soin,  compte  tenu  de  la  condition  et 
de  la  neitetd  de  l'exemplaire  film6,  et  an 
conformity  avec  les  conditions  du  contrat  de 
filmage. 

Les  exemplaires  originaux  dont  la  couverture  en 
papier  est  imprim6e  sont  film^s  en  commenpant 
par  le  premier  plat  et  en  terminant  soit  par  la 
dernidre  page  qui  comporte  une  empreinta 
d'impression  ou  d'illustration,  soit  par  le  second 
plat,  selon  le  cas.  Tous  les  autres  exemplaires 
originaux  sont  fil.Ti6s  an  commenpant  par  la 
premiere  page  qui  comporte  une  empreinte 
d'impression  ou  d'illustration  et  en  terminant  par 
la  dernidre  page  qui  comporte  une  telle 
empreinte. 

Un  des  symboles  s'jivants  apparaitra  sur  la 
dernidre  image  de  cheque  microfiche,  selon  le 
cas:  le  symbolo  — ►-  signifie  "A  SUIVRE",  le 
symbole  V  signifie  "FIN". 

Les  cartes,  planches,  tableaux,  etc.,  peuvent  dtre 
filmds  6  des  taux  de  r6duction  diffdrents. 
Lorsque  le  document  est  trop  grand  pour  dtre 
reproduit  en  un  seul  clich6,  il  est  filmd  6  partir 
de  Tangle  sup^rieur  gauche,  de  gauche  d  Jroite, 
et  de  haut  en  bas,  en  prenant  le  nombre 
d'images  n^cessaire.  Les  diagrammes  suivants

plete elaHslflcatlon  of  the  Futnily,  an<l  one  which  han  hiconie  tlio  basis  of  our  know- 
1«!(Ikc  on  this  subject.  In  May,  1H"J,  I  j)ubllshetl  alUtof  the  Nortli  American  species, 
dasslfylnn  tliem  as  noailyas  I  couli-l  aeeonllntr  to  Lederei's  mutho<l,  which  I  hu<l 
iipplletl  to  inuny  of  tin;  species  in  a  numl)er  of  papers  previously  pul)llshe(l  In 
various  scientitlc  Journals. 

The  compound  eyea  are  either  naked  (Aifi-ntlt.  Jladrna  vie.)  or  their 'uiifac^.  Is 
stud«led  with  lmlv{  Mam enlra,  Anartti,  JIvlioi>hila  et<i.).  Tliov  are  souietlnies  provided 
on  the  upper  nuir^in  with  lon^  iiairs  (\Vinipt>rn);  I  have  ti.tiiressed  this  cliaracter 
l)y  the  translation  '-lashes".  These  lasluts  are  easily  confounded  with  tlie  usually 
discclorous  scales  lyiuK  back  of  the  compound  eye,  and,  on  occasion,  I  liave  made 
the  mistake  myself.  The  ocelli,  or  simple  eyes,  are  present  with  but  out  except- 
ion In  tlio  North  American  ycctiietifae  v.  ft-,  Feralia  joeosa,  but  as  they  are  ubH(>nt 
in  two  or  three  European  genera,  according  to  Authors,  they  are  not  an  Invaiable 
character  of  tlie  group;  they  are  wanting  In  the  small  grou|)  Xoctua-  Phalarnidi. 
Tlio  tibiae  or  slumks  are  either  without  spines  over  tlie  Joint,  or  they  are  pi'ovided 
witli  them;  sometimes  (Aditu,  Oncijcnemis,  Dimpis  etc.)  there  Is  a  terminal  long 
claw  at  the  end  of  the  front  tlbhie;  again  there  is  a  succession  of  spines  ending 
in  a  claw,  as  in  the  genera  alllc(i  to  Heliothis.  Tl)e  vestlture  of  tlie  thorax  is  some- 
times mass(!d  in  lu'ts  in  front  and  behind  (Mame.stya),  somctiim's  plain  {G'rupliij)- 
/loraete.),  sometimes  tliere  is  a  small  tuft  behind  tlie  collar  (Cn.piiimplia,  Xanthla 
etc.);  there  Is  also  a  ridge  of  scales  In  some  s|)ecies  now  classed  under  Apriitin. 
The  dorsum  of  the  aijdonien  is  often  bare  of  tufts  {A(/rnlii),  or  has  merely  u  basal 
tuft,  and  again  a  ^•ueces8ion  of  tufts  {Mamcutra  etc.).  The  collar  in  front  of  the 
thorax  is  occasionally  pulTed  up  meillally  (Cucultia),  but  usually  only  feebly  pro- 
jected. Tlie  tuftings  take  on  ilitterent  shapes;  /•?«?«'«  has  a  spreading  t''.Gr.".C'ic  tnfi, 
Jichrensia  a  fan-shaped  one  on  the  alidomen  centrally.  J'erfect  specimens  arc 
needed  to  ol)s(!rve  these  characters  and  their  full  value  Is  perhups  not  yet  estab- 
lished. The  wings  have  the  outer  margin  sometimes  even  (e.g.  I'lusiu)  sometimes 
uneven  (IScopelosoma),  rarely  anguhited  (Ncoliopter/jx).  The  neuratlon  is  subject  to 
feeble  modifications.  The  primary  cell  is  undivided,  vein  5  usuiilly  nearer  4  than 
fi;  there  is  almost  always  a  small  accessory  cell,  and  there  is  a  certain  amount  of 
variation  in  tlie  position  of  ve'ns  T  and  8.  In  the  males  o{ HcHuchilus  and  Ph-raetholix 
the  neuratlon  Is  aberrant.  On  the  hind  wings  vein  *  has  a  peculiar  jiossition  in  the

in  the  opposite  sex  iscom|)Ound;  I  have  suf  ?8ted  that  this  bristle  is  a  specialized 
vein.  The  clypeus  or  front  of  the  head  is  us^.  y  smooth,  sometimes  with  a  projection 
{Ochria,  Arzavia),  again  with  a  cup- or  heart-shaped  depression  (JSlilnulitim,  Playio- 
TJiirniCM.v), In  the  genus  Fala,  these  characters  are  apparently  united; again  the  surface 
is  roughened  or  tuberculate.  The  vestlture  of  tlie  thorax  Is  either  scaley  (Jaxpideu, 
Tarachc),  or  Imiry  (Anuria,  etc  ),  or  again  consists  of  scales  and  hair;  1  have  used  this 
character  to  distinguish  otherwise  related  <enera  as  Tamila  and  Heliothis.  As  a  rule 
the  clothing  of  the  body  Is  more  appressed  and  thinner  in  tlie  southern  forms,  more 
shaggy  ill  the  Northern.  The  three-Jointed  labial  jialpi  show  a  slight  variation  in 
position,  sufficient  to  give  at  times  :i  geneilc  character;  in  the  sub-group  Fasciatae 
the  third  joint  is  usually  elongated;  in  the  sub-group  Delt.nides  the  palpi  are  occasion- 
ally thrown  backward  over  the  thorax  and  disproportionately  long.  Tlie  antennae 
are  setose  or  brush-like,  simple,  subpectinate  or  feathered,  especially  in  the  males;

II. 

On  the  Geoffraphical  Distrihu'ion  of  the  Nortuae. 

Out  of  aliout  tweUc  hundred  North  American  species  of  Xoctuae,  less  than  thirty 
(if  we  except  a  few  Arctic  species)  arc  considered  identical  with  European  forms. 
The  degree  of  relationship  is  variously  expressed .  Some  species  are  verj'  nearly  alike, 
so  thatii  piacticed  eye  k  needed  to  distinguish  the  forms  from  the  remote  localities. 
Again  the  differences  are  more  or  less  evhlent,  while  the  great  mass  of  the  species 
atlmit  of  no  very  near  comparison.  These  facts  seem  to  point  to  a  nearer  common 
or'giii  for  certain  American  and  Kuropean  Xoctuae,  and  it  has  even  been  suggested 
that  the  faunae  have  become  separated  by  the  submerirence  of  an  Atlantis.  I  think 
that  the  European  and  North  American  Noctuae  are  in  part  desc<!nded  from  species 
living  over  a  comuion  territory  and  that  tlie  Glacial  Epoeli  lias  separated  the  stocks 
and,  perhaps,  indu-xHi  local  modillcation  on  either  side  of  the  Atlantic.  The  climate 
of  the  n.irthcrn  portions  of  the  two  continents  is  shown  to  liave  been  much  hotter 
during  the  Tertiary  than  it  is  at  present.  The  species,  not  introduced  l)y  commerce, 
which  arc  shown  to  be  tlie  same  on  both  sides  of  ihe  Atlantic,  are,  then,  the  un- 
modified decendants  of  pre-glacial  species;  .just  as  1  have  suggested  that  the  Alpine 
faunae  of  tlie  Wliite  and  Kocky  Mountains  are  the  relica  of  a  fauna  which  followed 
the  jre-wava  back  to  tlie  North  during  the  opening  of  the  Quaternary.  The  time  may 
come  whene  a  phyllogenetlc  sketch  of  the  species  will  be  a  posslI>llity ;  at  present  we 
are  only  commencing  to  entain  the  idea  that  species  are  phenomena  of  succession. 

On  tlie  whole  the  species  East  of  the  Rocky  Mountains  and  as  far  as  Texas,  have 
a  common  fades,  nevertheiess  there  is  a  gradual  replacement  as  we  go  southward 
where  the  sub-groups  Faxeialae  and  Delloidr.t  become  more  prevalent.  In  the 
ditferont  genera  there  is  room  for  interesting  remarks  already  on  the  subject  of  their 
distribution;  but  the  dativ  are  everywhere  iniiierfect,  the  authority  frequently  doubt- 
ful, s<>  that  an  ex))osition  of  tlie  facts  recorded  as  yet  does  not  seem  to  otter  probable 
conclusions.  One  interesting  fact  is  here  restated.  All  o..i  Eastern  species  referred 
in  this  List,  I  believe  coii-ectly,  to  Gor.'.wna  Ilubn.  (non  Led.),  have  a  smooth  front 
and  are  therefore  not  congeneric  witli  the  European  Ochriaflava<jo  Hubn.  whic'.i  has 
nclypeal  protuberance,  an.d  is  the  sole  European  species  of  its  genus.  But  ;n  Cali- 
fornia there  is  a  second  l.lnd  of  Othvia,  witli  a  horned  cls'jieus,  named  by  me  Octiria 
Sfuzalitac,  and  discovered  by  my  friend  Mr.  James  Beiirens.  This  Califi.-rr.iaii 
species  resembles  in  ornamentation  the  Eastern  species  of  Gortyna  with  smooth 
fronts,  and  does  not  resemble  in  this  respect  its  European  congener.  And  tliere  is 
a  single  Nortli  American  Gortjiva  from  the  East,  with  a  smootli  front,  Gortyna 
ratnphracta,  which  res(>nd)lefs  in  ornamentation  the  European  Oehria  flavago  which 
has  a  horned  elypeus.  This  opens  up  the  oueslions  of  t'.ie  value  of  structural  charact- 
ers, and  the  relation  of  structure  to  habit;  for  the  liorned  elypeus  doubtless  is 
correlated  with  the  habits  of  the  moth  Is  it  possible  that  the  liornless  Gortyna 
calaphracta  is  genetically  more  immediately  connected  witli  the  horned  Oehria  fla- 
vaffo,  than  Is  the  horned  t'ulifornian  sp*  jies  wliich  we  now  more  intimately  associate 
Willi  tlie  European  form? 

.Such  inquiries  arc  beyond  the  limits  of  my  jireseiit  space,  nor  can  I  suggest  as  yet 
but  few  of  them.  But  1  am  plad  to  show  there  are  quesi ions  of  g(!iieral  import  sug- 
gesttJd  by  these  smaller  animals,  and  that  the  study  of  Entomology  is  wider  than  the 
more  whims  of  collectors  of  insects.
